Good Humor Man Back in May, 1942

I’m thinking this Good Humor man in Washington, D.C. must’ve had more to offer than just ice cream. The girls can’t seem to get enough of him.

Here is a great photo taken by Leo Russell of cowboys making ice cream in 1940. The caption: Farmers freezing ice cream. Pie Town, New Mexico. There is no ice in the town. Two or three farmers have built ice storage houses of wooden blocks, packing the ice in sawdust. When someone makes the thirty or forty mile trip for ice, several families get together for an ice cream party.

Castro Eats Ice Cream

DandyDon — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:11:43 +0000

I came across this photo of Castro eating an ice cream cone while riding the Bronx Zoo train in 1959. It’s included in the book 1959: The Year Everything Changed by Fred Kaplan. The L.A. Times ran a review of the book with this accompanying photo. It’s too good to resist.
